There is no current (September 2021) consensus on capitalization of specific game terms.  For example, when discussing a belle's main battery, should it be written "Battery I" or "battery I?"  Should nouns like "vestures" be capitalized?

==Data/Information Box==
*
 
=== Data vs. Information Box ===
The Infobox is a stock class on Fandom, and is restricted to loading on the right.  The Belle information box is the only (September 2021) current example.
 
DataBox was created for this wiki to allow a similar information structure without the content being forced into the right column.  ''99% of the time, new data-holding templates should be derived from [[Template:DataBox]], not Infobox.''  DataBox enforces a two-column layout with optional column headers and an optional title overall.
 
=== General ===
When a value for a named line in an existing data/information box is not included, it will be automatically populate with ''Unknown.''
 
Text for an empty box should follow these guidelines.
 
* The default "Unknown" if the line can be filled in the future, but the information that would populate it is not currently available.  For example, a belle whose voice actress has not been credited publicly at time of page creation would be listed as ''Unknown.''
*"None" if the line can be filled, but isn't.  For example, a belle whose stock main battery contains an open but empty RDF slot should list RDF as "None."
*"N/A" if the line applies to ''other'' uses of the infobox (as part of the template), but the line is not valid for the infobox in question.  For example, a belle whose stock main battery configuration has a locked RDF slot would list this as "N/A."

Minimize image usage on main pages.  For example, if a belle receives a "skins" page, go nuts with images there, but not on her main page!

==Table/Information Box==
=== Table vs. Information Box ===
The Infobox is a stock class on Fandom, and is restricted to loading on the right.  The Belle information box is the only (September 2021) current example.
Almost all the templates for tables on belle "detail pages" are two-column setups with optional column headers and an optional title overall.  These work well on mobile and don't look horrible on desktop.
